An air conditioning solution on full blast
An article on local air conditioning mandates by Climate Solutions Fellow Ysabelle Kempe became one of the most-read stories of 2024 for Smart Cities Dive (SCD), with a few thousand page views. SCD shared the article in its Daily Dive newsletter and posted it on the website, as well as on LinkedIn and Facebook pages. Kempe says, “Our audience is local government leaders in the U.S., and I believe one of the reasons for this story’s popularity is that local leaders want to know what is working in other communities so they can apply the learnings to their jurisdictions.” The story was republished by the Public News Service and shared on X by NGOs and by DMV Climate Partners, which is a group of government partners (in the District of Columbia, Maryland and Northern Virginia). The local leaders in the story reached out to Kempe, commending her for the accurate reporting on the policies.
